ITU-T Y.3802 PDF

This Recommendation specifies the functional architecture of quantum key distribution (QKD) networks.

In particular, the scope of this Recommendation includes:

– Functional architecture model;

– Functional elements and reference points;

– Architectural configurations;

– Basic operational procedures.

NOTE – This Recommendation addresses a functional architecture of QKD networks (QKDNs) based on the conceptual structure illustrated in [ITU-T Y.3800] and the functional requirements in [ITU-T Y.3801].
